Despite a growing profile on the underground hardcore circuit, and garnering critical acclaim from numerous musical outlets, Modern Life Is War announced its dissolution in early 2008; however, the band reunited in 2012.

Modern Life Is War formally announced its reunion in April 2013 and the intent to record and release the new album through Deathwish by September 2013.

The band did not expect to heavily tour during the reunion; as of April 2013, Modern Life Is War was only booked to headline This Is Hardcore Festival and a record release show.

"[4] The band released its fourth studio album Fever Hunting on September 9, 2013, through Deathwish, which was produced by Kurt Ballou of Converge.

[6] To commemorate its 10th anniversary, Modern Life is War reissued a remastered version of their 2005 album Witness with updated packaging and liner notes on June 2, 2015, followed by a nine-date North American tour.
